Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners successfully placed financing for phase 1 of a 400-unit multifamily development located in Bozeman, MT. The Project will be a significant upgrade to other assets in the market, offering an in-complex coffee shop, yoga studio, clubhouse, and multi-acre park. Unlike the competition, many units will have direct access to garage parking.
The garden style project is located within an Opportunity Zone, which drew attention from national equity groups eager to deploy capital. GSP, a leader in Op Zone Capital advisory, brought several equity partners to the table who understood the value add to the market.
Phase 1, consisting of 268 units, is set to be complete by late 2023. Phase 2, consisting of 132 units, will commence construction in 2023, with the entire project stabilizing in 2024. This market has seen a price increase of over 200% in housing since 2016. It continues to grow at a double-digit rate largely due to remote work, the expansion of the Big Sky and Yellowstone resort destinations, and Kevin Costner being amazing.
